The Minister of Defence of the Russian Federation, General of the Army Sergei Shoigu, checked the fulfillment of the state defence order of OJSC 766 Department of Production and Technological Completion (DPTC) in the Moscow region, where robotic systems for various purposes are being developed and produced.

The head of the military department inspected the production and presented samples of robotic systems of the Uran line - the Uran-6 mine clearance complex, the Uran-14 fire robot and Uran-9 combat robots, and also heard a report from the company's head Denis Gorsky.

Following the results of the working trip, Sergei Shoigu held a meeting with representatives of the management of the enterprise, the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia.

OJSC 766 DPTC develops special tracked chassis of modular type, the design of which allows to create any remotely controlled machines, and mobile robots with specified functionality- from combat to support. The company produces robots Uran-6, Uran-14 and Uran-9 are in service with the Russian army.

Uran-6, in particular, was used for mine clearance in Syria. Currently, such a robot will also be used by engineering and sapper units of the Russian peacekeeping contingent in Nagorno-Karabakh.
